Tips from the Community
At the Abbey of Saint-Savin, a sight you'll never tire of awaits: the Gartempe River flowing gently past the ancient stone walls, and the medieval Pont de Saint-Savin spanning the river, with the abbey in the background. A truly magnificent view! The combination of water, bridge, and Romanesque architecture makes this a perfect oasis. Take a moment to sit on the banks.

This greenway is horrible, in places it is just a forest path... not to mention the chestnuts that inner tubes love.

“Death would gladly walk through the realm of joy, He would gladly press his hand on flowery brows. In ashes tomorrow and torn garments, With bowed head, the memory of joy will be a reproach and a pain to us. Our games are followed by funeral processions; For us Saturnalia can be the cradle, Woe to us! of songs of the dead alone!” Text: Victor HUGO, (1802 – 1885): “Ode sur la mort du duc de Berry” (1820)

Very pretty view of the Château d'Ingrandes when crossing the bridge. You will find a small grocery store and a café/bar next to the post office in the center of the village.

Quite impressive necropolis dating from the 4th century and which has housed more than 1000 graves! The place is fascinating and mysterious.

Located close to the city center, the pond is bordered by prehistoric caves. You can also see the piles of the old medieval drawbridge. Picnic tables on the banks.
